GENERAL INFORMATION
Safflower Oil - Edible
Wholesale vegetable oil - since 1838
Edible Safflower Oil is the fully refined, bleached and deodorized vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of Carthamus Tinctorius:
The chief interest in Edible Safflower Oil lies in the fact that it contains about 75% Linoleic Acid, with total unsaturated acids of about 94%.
The anti oxidant used in Edible Safflower Oil is 0.01% Propyl Gallate, 0.005% Citric Acid. This has been found effective for stabilization against rancidity.
A number of medical research organizations have reported that the principle ingredient of Edible Safflower Oil, Linoleic Glyceride, is beneficial in controlling or perhaps preventing arteriosclerosis.
The major centers of activity have been the Rockefeller Medical Research Center in New York; the Harvard
University School of Medicine; University of Minnesota School of Medicine; University of California Medical
Center in San Francisco, and the Institute of Metabolic Research in Oakland. Dr. Laurence Kinsell at Oakland has stated that research in the field of heart artery disease warrants optimism. He has
demonstrated that the feeding of fats with high unsaturated fatty acid content can reduce the amount of Cholesterol in the human blood stream.
